Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to perform pressure ulcer care in a manner to prevent infection for 1 (#3) of 5 sampled residents reviewed for pressure ulcer care. A weekly wound flow sheet, dated 04/15/26, showed 11 residents with pressure ulcers. Findings:On 04/29/26 at 2:10 p.m., LPN #1 donned gloves and gown and entered Resident #3's room to provide pressure ulcer care. LPN #1 was observed to push personal items to one side and place two plastic trash bags on Resident #3's overbed table, next to the resident's personal items. LPN #1 did not sanitize the resident's overbed table prior to placing their dressing change supplies, bags, and gloves on the overbed table. CNA #1 and LPN #1 stepped to each side of the bed and positioned Resident #3 onto their right side. LPN #1 used their gloved hand to wipe feces from the Resident #3's upper left leg and buttock. LPN #1 then stepped back, and CNA #2 stepped to the side of the bed and provided incontinent care. CNA #1 and CNA #2 provided incontinent care, removed the soiled cloth bed pad, and placed a clean cloth bed pad under the resident. CNA #1 did not change gloves after wiping feces from the resident and before placing the clean cloth bed pad under the resident. Resident #3 was rolled from their left side and to their right side on the clean bed pad. After CNA #1 and CNA #2 repositioned Resident #3 onto their right side for pressure ulcer care, feces was still observed on the legs and buttocks of Resident #3. Wearing the same gloves, they had used to wipe feces from Resident #3's leg, LPN #1 was observed to cluster Resident #3's personal items together on the overed table, hand the oral suction yankauer to the resident, and to turn the portable suction machine on to suction. LPN #1 was observed to check the dressing supplies and to soak gauze in a cup of clear sound cleanser solution. Wearing the same gloves they used for incontinent care, LPN #1 obtained wet gauze from the cup of with their gloved fingers and used the soaked gauze to clean the remaining feces from Resident #3's legs and buttocks. LPN #1 then removed the old dressing cover and packing from the wound. Some of the packing was observed to have fallen onto the cloth bed pad. CNA #1 was observed to release Resident #3 which allowed the resident to make contact with the cloth bed pad/pillow with their back and buttocks. The contact occurred after the wound had been cleansed and application of medication had been applied but before the absorbent dressing cover was applied. Wearing the same gloves they used for incontinent care, LPN #1 cleaned the pressure ulcer. LPN #1 was observed to stick three fingers of their gloved hand into a plastic cup filled with a white paste and use their gloved fingers to apply the paste to the wound bed. LPN #1 doffed gloves and tossed them into the plastic trash bag on the overbed table. LPN #1 did not sanitize their hands before donning another set of gloves they had stored on the overbed table. LPN #1 applied the calcium alginate to the wound with their gloved fingers and then pulled open each pocket for CNA #2 to find keys to the dressing cart to obtain the absorbent dressing. LPN #1 was then observed to cover the wound with an absorbent dressing and secure with tape. On 04/29/26 at 3:00 p.m., LPN #1 stated the nurses assigned to work the floor were responsible for performing wound dressing changes. LPN #1 stated they felt nervous during the dressing change and could not remember the steps they needed to perform. LPN #1 stated they potentially contaminated their gloves when they wiped feces from the resident's left leg and potentially contaminated the resident's ventilation circuit, yankauer, suction, personal items on the overbed table, and wound care supplies having touched them with the potentially soiled gloves. LPN #1 stated since the resident still had feces on them when they were turned and positioned on the new cloth bed pad, the new bed pad became dirty and soiled. LPN #1 stated they contaminated their gloves when they used wet gauze to wipe feces from the resident before initiating the dressing change. LPN #1 stated they should have changed their gloves and the bed pad. LPN #1 stated they contaminated the wound bed when they used their gloved fingers to apply the collagen which they soaked in saline to make the paste. LPN #1 stated they should have used a tongue blade or applicator to apply the paste to the wound bed. LPN #1 stated they did not recognize Resident #3 was rolling back onto the soiled cloth bed pad between each step of the dressing change. LPN #1 stated the open pressure ulcer touching the bed pad could have potentially contaminated the ulcer. On 04/29/26 at 3:50 p.m., the DON was informed of the wound care observation. The DON stated they needed to provide their staff with more training and skills checks. On 04/29/26 at 4:30 p.m., Nurse Practitioner #1 stated the company they worked for provided wound care management to the facility residents. Nurse Practitioner #1 stated they had concerns with the dressing change the surveyor described to them. Nurse Practitioner #1 confirmed the DON was aware of the observation and stated they had training material which would be available to the DON and facility.

On 03/22/17 at 5:45 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) was notified an immediate jeopardy situation was determined to exist related to the facility's failure to ensure residents who were admitted with a pressure ulcer were identified as having a pressure ulcer and appropriate assessment and monitoring were provided to ensure pressure ulcers were able to heal and residents did not develop additional pressure ulcers. On 03/22/17 at 6:01 p.m., the administrator and DON were notified of an immediate jeopardy situation regarding resident #2 being re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] and not having pressure ulcers assessed and measured until 03/20/17 when the surveyor asked for the resident's wounds to be measured. The resident was found to have 10 wounds and the facility had no documented assessments or measurements. The administrator and DON were informed the IJ was related to the facility's failure to accurately and consistently assess and monitor pressure ulcers. The administrator and DON were asked to provide a plan of removal. On 03/22/17 at 8:22 p.m., the administrator provided the survey team with an acceptable plan of removal. The plan of removal presented by the facility documented the following: Riverside Health Services Arkoma Plan of removal Full skin assessments 3/22/17 residents with wounds. 3/22/17 immediate assessment, measurement, documentation of wounds. 3/22/17 Need for for wound treatment orders from PCP will be done immediately. Nursing staff will be educated by the DON or designee on 3/22/17 regarding the requirement to document the status of any wounds at time of admission and on a consistent established weekly recurrence schedule. DON/ADON will review and revise as needed the policy and procedure regarding wounds by 3/22/17 to include: Screening for pressure risk. Assessment of present wounds and all measurements documented. Physician notification Location of documentation will occur in skin check sheet area then wound pressure grafting area in software supported by narrative documentation from the nurse. All residents have the potential to be affected. Monitoring/tracking All records for residents with wounds will be reviewed each week by DON or designee. DON or designee will assist assigned staff nurse once weekly for wound assessments to help determine improvement /effectiveness of treatments and notify physician Ongoing for future QA review weekly by administration and medical director for 8 weeks an upon admission and readmission-ongoing. On 03/23/17 at 4:04 p.m., an addendum to plan of removal documented: All residents with wounds will be immediately re-assessed by the DON/Designee which will include wound staging. Wounds documented as unstageable will include reason they are unstageable. All other wounds will be documented descriptive findings. All wound assessments will be completed by 8:00 pm 3/23/17.
